Anyone notice the price of accessories on the rise?

*pRice*

So this isn’t complaining or “bitching”, but has anyone else noticed the price (not to mention the availability) of RV accessories going up? I mean not only going up, but with some products it’s almost doubled. Obviously I get capitalism, inflation, and rise in RV’ers, but wow! As an example I purchased a maxx air II vent cover for my last RV trailer (2018) for $40ish dollars and decided to buy them again for this one but they are going for $76ish. It’s just crazy. Anyways, anyone else notice this or find themselves going to buy something they’ve bought before for your RV and get blow away with the new price for the exact same product?

It's just not RVs, it's everything. Since the "pandemic" was put on us everything from every company, from every country has risen in price. Necessity? Who knows but I doubt it. When everyone that was working decided they don't want to work, they get paid double what they were getting paid to not work and then work from home, and attend, when they want to.....things are going to go south quick....and they are. But, there are a zillion reasons why those things are skyrocketing in price, and trucks are unavailable.

Yeah I’ve noticed with the trucks as well. Heck, a dealership offered me $56k for my truck. That’s about $3k more then I paid for it in 2017. The only problem is you can't find a truck or one with similar options for less then 65-70k and even 90k. I wouldn’t have much of a payment, but no payment (currently) is hard to let go of.

I seen some ammo last week 28.99. I last purchased that same box for 8.99 in 2016. Gun powder a year ago was 32.99 now its 45.99 same powder same store. When I moved here last June I was paying 1.79 gal diesel, last check its 3.49. I listen and watch the news, but it seems to be a subject not addressed.
Yea, talk about trucks. If I did not want one any longer I would sell it today and make money. Same goes with boats and RVs great time to sell, not so to buy.

The situation in the country is growing quietly pretty bad as far as prices. Everything is double what it was last year at this time. Let's hope things turn around in 2022. It hurts to be an energy independent country and then not. Don't want to get political.
